Question

What is the equation in vertex form of a parabola with vertex (-2, -2) that opens downward and is stretched by a factor of 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

D).  -5(x + 2)^2 - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola which Opens down and vertex (-2, -2) is :

f(x) = a(x + 2)^2 - 2 where a is negative

Stretch by factor 5 gives:

-5(x + 2)^2 - 2.
